Aperture Training On DVD Coming

The news broke today in MacObserver, Derrick Story and I have contracted with Lynda.com to offer the world’s first commercial DVD training in Apple’s Aperture.

The series will start production next month and will go on sale during the second quarter.

The first title in the series will be called “Aperture Essential Training,” which will include movie-based tutorials that take a task-oriented approach to the application’s core features. Topics covered will include importing images, shot selection, keywording, archiving, adjusting images, printing and more. Exercise files, as well as special plug-ins and Automator scripts, will accompany each title in the series.

Lynda.com will sell a DVD of the training titles for US$149.95. Subscriptions to the site’s online training library start at $25 per month, which includes access to not only the Aperture series but also over 160 other titles.

Stay tuned to Aperture Tricks for more information on the actual release date.
